Speaker of the House John Boehner told CBS’s 60 Minutes that he’s “interested in working with” President Barack Obama:
“Listen, the president and I talk, and I know Mitch [McConnell] talks to the president. Wnd we had a meeting at the White House last week. It was all very cordial, it was all very straightforward. I don’t think that’s the issue,” said Boehner in response to a question about whether Republicans and Democrats can work together.
“You know, the president could have, at the State of the Union, just put out an olive branch, could’ve taken just a little bit different tone that would’ve indicated to us that there’s some interest in working with us. I can tell you, we’re interested in working with him.”
